Ok noted, So Tinubu did not sit in the front roll again very close to Trump at Unga, Only a fool will vote for APC again, this people liers
So obi is still campaigning despite vowing to stop it if proven that he owe anyone or took any loan during his calamitous reign as the Governor of Anambra State.

That guy is an irredeemable fraud.

But most states are already operating and funding their own state vigilantes in addition to funding federal police. When last did the federal government buy operational vehicles for their federal police? If not for the state governments, the police would be entering keke and commercial buses to pursue criminals.
Vigilante is not a police force. A police force needs not only arms and ammunition, but forensic services, decent records, good enough police stations, and a good enough communications system, as well as enough police cars and other vehicles, and good traning facilites and jails and so forth.

I doubt your states can fund up to one third of what a good police force needs.

State police is an exercise in self deceit.

Enugu state government recently opened a control centre with state of the art equipment for surveillance by security agencies. Can you point out one such centre owned by the federal police? The federal police can't even build their own police stations. They have to cry to state governments and wealthy individuals to provide them office space.

Something is really wrong somewhere and you're not even observant!

This is a thread about State Police Bill but your response says Tinubu and UNGA!

Haa, your people need to be placed on red alert.

Several indeed and you can't mention even one. Then show us the state of police training colleges and tell us why your federal police collects bribe on roads without shame and don't respond to crime without first extorting the victims of such crimes. The federal police has failed totally and only the state police that is closer to the people and know the terrain as indigenes can do real effective police work in crime prevention and containment.

Well done for taking the lead in implementing the needed steps to secure the lives of your people.

Unfortunately, some southern states have been puppet to the North
I don't think any southern states will oppose it. Even all the North Central will also approve it. With Tinubu influence some core North will also accept it. Only a terrorist Governor will reject it

Almost all the state has this.... Bt it useless since they that control center needs order from the Federal IG so it not about having control center? Does the state have full authority over the personel and gadgets l in that control center?
Re: Osun Becomes First State To Approve State Police Bill by SonOfDSoil01: 10:40am On Sep 23
grin this is good news for majority of Nigerians while bad news for children of hate and perdition……they never wish the country well but yet want rule a country they so much hate and despise…..no be juju be that? grin

Tinubu is tactically restructuring the country and the restructuring of our security architecture is a long term strategy to restore Sanity by fighting the menace of banditry,kidnapping and other violent crimes which past leaders have not summoned the courage and political will to do.

Ask the opposition what they intend to do differently when they get to power and you will see how empty they are with one of them even suggesting to negotiate with bandits and terrorist grin a bunch of opposition so bereft of ideas but only find their voice when they want to criticise and score cheap political points….Nigeria is on the right track and with Tinubu steering the wheel of progress, may we not return back to Egypt…..4+4=8 Tinubu till 2031 grin

I don't know about other states .....But Lagos , Ogun , Rivers ,, Delta and Oyo can fund the state police with ease

As always,my fear with state policing is who will the state commissioner for police in the state be answerable to?

Any state policing act where political office holders like the state governor have the authority and mandate to choose the state commissioner for police,just know that we are all doomed.

Do not get me wrong.
I am one of the advocates of state policing.
Infact I believe it should have been inputted in the constitution in 1999.

However,whatever is worth doing,is worth doing right.
No political office holder including the president and state governor should have any authority to select and appoint police heads in their domain.
It's a recipe for disaster and impunity.
if you can't trust the system, then you can relocate to heaven. the way some of you reason beat me hollow. Mention any state in Nigeria today that doesn't have quasi police system today. The govt is only formalizing what is already operational in almost all the states with different nomenclatures, so nothing out of ordinary here.

How are they going to handle operational funding and remuneration? A new crisis is brewing. We know what state electoral commissions look like. State police, another Hisbah and vigilantes in the making.

You completely missed the point. I am not against state policing....i am against putting the police under the political control of the governor.

The fact that quasi-police outfits already exist is precisely why we should learn from their flaws,not blindly formalise them.

'Trust the system or relocate to heaven' is not an argument.Institutions are not designed on the assumption that every future governor will be an angel. They are designed to prevent a bad political officeholder from abusing power.

If your answer to a legitimate institutional concern is 'just trust them', then perhaps it is your reasoning that needs relocation not the citizen.

Tell me the State Assembly Kwamkwaso is controlling?. reason I looked and laugh at the Obidient OK movement people when most of them believe the presidency election is the only important election. The way things are right now for APC and the president that police amendment Bill will be pass easily with 31 State Governor and majority control in 31 state House of Assembly

Nigerian states can fund state police. Just say people from your State are unevolved and only know how to steal. Others are moving forward with State police.

Keep electing mediocres because of sentiment. At least one militia that is well armed will come and help the country clear off any unproductive group of people. Let the country rest from their backwardness.

Just dont run to SW. Stay in your State and rely on Federal police only. Other Nigerians are choosing to protect their States.

If its was a bill to get money from the masses, Ekiti would have been the first state to pass the bill. Look at then now, not chasing the first position fir this, bcus to them they see no advantage in the bill

In the 21st century, someone is actually saying a community of millions can't afford a police force!

A member of a community of cave men would be wrong to say such
